Salmon Orthodontics provides a comprehensive range of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from children and teens to adults. Their treatment options include:
Traditional Metal
braces: The most common type, made of high-grade stainless steel.
Self-Ligating Braces: Similar to traditional braces but use a specialized clip instead of elastics, potentially leading to fewer appointments and less friction. Available in metal, ceramic, or clear brackets.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces: Less visible than metal braces, often preferred by older teenagers and adults for cosmetic reasons.
Clear aligners (Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen®): Invisible, removable acrylic trays that straighten teeth, offering flexibility for eating and oral hygiene.
Lingual Braces: Customized braces hidden behind the teeth for an invisible appearance, suitable for athletes and professionals.
Other appliances: Including Herbst Appliances and WildSmiles® Braces.
Beyond active treatment, Salmon Orthodontics emphasizes the importance of orthodontic retention with custom-made retainers (traditional removable, aligner-style, or fixed) to maintain results. They utilize cutting-edge orthodontic technologies such as digital impressions and digital radiography to ensure efficient and precise treatment.
The practice prides itself on a friendly, family-oriented, and professional approach, aiming to make the orthodontic experience comfortable and efficient. They offer complimentary consultations, discuss detailed financial information and payment plans, and assist with insurance claims. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the kindness, professionalism, and care provided by Dr. Salmon and his team, and their commitment to patient education regarding oral hygiene and care throughout the treatment process. They also offer 24-hour emergency services for patients undergoing treatment.
